Second sexual assault in a week reported in residence hall

A student reported a sexual assault to the UW-Madison Police Department Saturday, according to a UWPD crime warning sent to students.

The assault happened early Saturday morning around 3 a.m. and was the second sexual assault in a Southeast residence hall to be reported in the past week.

Since the student, who allegedly knew the assailant, reported the assault to UWPD, the department will complete a full investigation of the crime.

UWPD is required to report crime that happens on or around campus under the federal Clery Act enforced by the U.S. Department of Education.
